About Kosciuszko National Park

Hop on a chairlift to experience the spectacular views from the top of Mt Kosciuszko. The scenic chairlift is open 365 days a year. The Kosciuszko Express Chairlift is nearly two kilometres long and rises 560 vertical metres. The ride takes 15 minutes one way and offers spectacular valley views as you are lifted to the closest access point to Mount Kosciuszko.

For adventurers, Kosciuszko National Park in the Snowy Mountains offers plenty to see and do throughout the year. Poet Banjo Paterson's evocative 1890 ballad 'The Man from Snowy River' described the area as being where 'the hills are twice as steep' and the 'air is clear as crystal', and just as much holds true today.
